In accordancewith paragraph 2c, Change Order No. 2, beach sand
was hauled and spread along a strip 100 ft. wide, extending from the
4COft. station to @mna Station C. Nine thousand cu. yds. of sand
were hauled in this operation which began on 8 Msrch and extended over
a period of IA days. After the sand was in place, it was decided that
an area of 100,000 sq. ft. around Gamnm Stations A and B should be
stabilized,using the soil cemat method, (see Change Order No. A, par
2b) in an attempt to control the dust that would rise after the blast.
Outside power distributionwires were placed around the Timing
Station, Gamna Station B and blast building, Monday, 8 Mrch, under the
direction of Dr. Clark and Mr. Hedberg of AEC. This proved to be a very
simple task as care was taken to label each wire as it was placed. All
other outside wiring and floodlight installationswere finished during
the week ending 13 March.
Most of the week ending 20 March was spent removing excess supplies
from three 40 ft x 100 ft quonset huts on the north end of the island
